Has anyone received the new software update that gives you Android 14? I see people on the other forums talking about it. I'm trying to find the out what the differences are and/or if anyone has pictures showing the differences.

Huh...I wonder if this is why my voice prompting stopped working and I'm getting a message saying I need permission from my Google Workspace Administrator???
 
My car got a large update 2 weeks ago.

There were many changes that I noticed -

  • There is now an icon showing the car, every seat and the seat belt status (buckled/unbuckled) on the bottom of the driver screen
  • HUD now remembers your last setting. ie. if I leave it in sport when I turn it off, it starts back up in sport rather than tour (this drove me NUTS)
  • New safety/lane keep icon on the bottom of the driver screen
  • Left hand mini screen re-configured - scrolling between screens now more straight forward, easier to see the different options you have available to you
  • Google Maps Update - icons seem different now
  • If you have an auto, the display now always shows what gear you are in when in Drive vs. only if you had it in Manual previously
  • System seems more snappy overall
  • Weird Google Maps crashing bug I had seems to be gone
That's all I've noticed so far - all in all, seems to be a good update
 
Ugh. I am on version 12 from 2024. Car says there are no updates available. I will need to take in to the dealer to see what is going on.

I went to my dealer for a full vehicle wide module update. You have to tell them that the car is not automatically updating OTA in order to get it covered under warranty. I also had them do a complete update of the infotainment AND PDR separately.

It took 6 hours to update all of the modules but once updated, all of my OTA issues were fixed and the car started pulling updates again. I also got the bonus of updated ECM, TCM updates, etc.
 
My 2026 is still on Android 12, no updates found. Ugh indeed
 
My 25 5BW (built about a year ago) is still on 12. SPS2 does not offer to upgrade it.

I spent a few minutes poking at the acdelcotds website "SPS Information" page. I put in my vin and selected "A11- Radio" and it offered 12 hardware part numbers. Most have 31 module ids listed with corresponding software numbers. One has 29 and another only 23.

I don't know how to determine my specific hardware part number but 5 of the hardware part numbers have the same software numbers as mine. Another 5 hardware parts have the same software numbers but most of the software numbers are numerically higher (so: perhaps the updated version)

I believe the 14 update has been released for at least 5 hardware part numbers.

I put a random 2026 5BW vin in and was only offered 11 hardware part numbers, basically all of the ones listed for 2025 minus one. I did not download the software numbers (it's annoyingly time consuming) but I suspect there are 12 part numbers that would work in any 25 or 26 5BW. I bet the 25's mostly/only have the lower number and the 26's the higher numbers.
